While wishing media professionals in the Sunshine State and beyond merry Christmas and prosperous New Year in advance, Ondo NUJ pleads with the people to obey all measures put place by government to tackle the second wave of Coronavirus pandemic especially the use of nose masks, physical distancing and avoiding crowded places.
The Statement commends journalists in the state for their steadfastness and commitment in the outgoing year towards building a virile Union and just Society through balanced, objective and factual reportage of happenings in the state despite experiencing a very difficult time in the year.
